I rolled my eyes at more than a few parts, but I think this was an honest attempt at portraying an American tank crew during WWII. You get used to it, and i'm surprised you didn't by the end of the movie. Not understanding John Blumenthal was part of his character.I definitely came across more then a few country boys that I couldn't understand.
Though, the one liners were definitely lame.But I suppose it was an attempt to convey how hardened and bleak their outlook was after years of war. I was an infantryman and not a tanker, but believe they nailed the dynamic for people in combat arms.
As for the dialog.You'd probably wouldn't skip much of a beat either if you were constantly in close proximity to people over the course of years. Plenty of tanks were abandoned and the crews would be able to get another. I think everyone agrees that the final scene was garbage Hollywood BS. Anyway, Grenades do not typically blow people apart into "5 pieces", I have a few personal photos from my deployment of insurgents that got hit with grenades just shy of the kill radius. Wait, what.? I have no idea what you mean with this sentence. What is the world coming to? I'm gonna go back to watching Band of Brothers for like the 8th time while every fake alpha male masturbates to himself with this BS.Īnd then there's the guy pulling a grenade on himself so that he could skip battle? That guy would've been in 5 pieces in real life and yet he came out of the tank like he stubbed his toe-all his limbs intact. Wth was he saying?īelieve it or not but this movie got a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I couldn't even understand Rick Grime's partner half the time. Or it's like they took a bunch of 1-liners and crammed it into a script because they thought the audience would be impressed somehow by the badassness of it. How about the dialogue? It's like the director told everyone to talk so fast that they could finish the movie early and move onto the next one. And then there's the guy pulling a grenade on himself so that he could skip battle? That guy would've been in 5 pieces in real life and yet he came out of the tank like he stubbed his toe-all his limbs intact. Isn't war about sticking it out for the man next to you? and Brad Pitt finds it so easy to abandon his men. In the history of war, name me a tank commander that would commit suicide like that. There are so many things wrong with this movie I don't even know where to start. Latest Discussions The Batman Texas Chainsaw Massacre Uncharted Roland Emmerich Jamie Dornan Robert Pattinson (2017)
